It’s going to be a very happy holiday season because The Amazing Race Philippines: DryedMangoez Edition is back with its milestone 15th season! Woohoo!

And for this anniversary season, it’s the first back to basics season after three gimmick seasons! Yes! Also to celebrate, some refreshed graphics. Wow!
